Offense is the catch phrase for a society that no longer believes in objective truth. A society that does not believe in objective truth can only validate its "principles" by how strongly they feel about something. Thus "I'm offended" is a criticism only if one holds to the same flimsy notion of what truth is.

As the video author says, if you are offended, that's your problem. If you have something constructive to say, do so.

Welcome!

This blog is written by me, Colin Gormley, about stuff I'm thinking about when I should be working. I have a post on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Most of the time it is philosophical/religious in nature but I will divert to fun things or whatever is in my head. So have fun and let me know what you think!

As a note: For all comments left here I reserve the right to blog about them. This includes emails sent to me (though I will leave the writers anonymous) unless you specify otherwise directly.

Finally this is my blog and I reserve the right to remove any comment that I feel does not add to discussion. I'm very lax about such things but this is not the place to vent your hatred of all religious.
